Ask GW: this is a jaws list, but in the week since I joined I have
found precious little to help me get to like JFW anymore than I
currently do, or to put it another way, to hate it any les than I
currently do. The substantive topic of JFW and Vista is important,
and there are at least two approaches to what users udnerstand
regarding screen reader developments. In the end, Microsoft controls
so much of our computer destiny that we will have to make informed
decisions. I have made mine, and I hope that others will make theirs. .
Vaughan.
And I ask again, what is WE's status with Vista? I haven't heard.

So why is it that GW-Micro appears to have more knowledge: Freedom Scientific is supposed to have the same type of relationship with Microsoft that applies to GW? Not going to bother me as unless Window-Eyes becomes absolutely broken because of unresolved problems with Vista, i'll upgrade to Vista and not bother with Jaws. Freedom Scientirfic can be as sily as it likes as far as I am concerned.--
